Thriving Residents

The current agreement between the County and Yolo County Housing (YCH) for specified grant administration assistance is set to expire June 30, 2022.  

The County participates in many Housing, Community & Economic Development Programs in the State of California and Federally through U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and receives funding following the approval of County grant applications. Yolo County Housing administers a variety of public housing programs within Yolo County and it has substantial expertise in local housing, economic development and community development issues and other matters relevant to the programs outlined above. The County has contracted with Yolo County Housing for the past five years to assist in the management and administration of specified housing, economic development and community development programs within Yolo County and provide a range of related services, as set forth in the agreement and has found the contractual relationship beneficial to the grant programs. 

The amended agreement is attached (Attachment B) to update billing rates charged by Yolo County Housing. All other aspects of the current agreement remain the same.  Under federal procurement guidelines set forth in 24 CFR 85.36, public entity interagency contracts for common supplies and services are encouraged and such contracts are exempt from the competitive procurement requirements that otherwise apply under the guidelines.
